Biryani is a fragrant, festive rice dish made with chicken, mutton, fish, eggs, or vegetables and a variety of spice. The origins of Biryani are in dispute but largely Biryani was believed to have been invented in the kitchen of the Muslim Mughal Emperors and is still served at celebration banquets. Today you can find Biryani served throughout southeast Asia. The spicing and choice of ingredients changes but generally Biryani involves a long, slow cooking process that allows the flavors of the spices and meat to infuse into the rice.
